Hi All,
The disks(18 GB) most frquently are failing in A5200 Storadge array and
other A5200 with 9 Gb disk one is very stable. This StoraDges are attached
to E3500, One A5200 is having 9 GB disks and other one A5200 are having 18
Gb disks and OS is Solaris 8. This system was running Solaris 2.6 and one
fine day it crashed and unfortunately we did not have any OS backup, Then
we fresh installed Solaris 8 and recommended patch and installed veritas
volume manager , bydefault A5200 sould have inbuilt VM license and veritas
VM should call this license and should start Volumemanger, where as in my
case VM not able to activate (Do any one know A5200 is coming with any
veritas license key on paper? or how to activate this license). Then I
configured A5200 in Solstice Disk Suite 4.2 with Raid 5 and OS disks
mirrored. One problem is facing that 18 GB disk are failing more
frequently, can any one encounter this sort of problem, pls let me know
about solution. Thanks inadvance.
System Config :
E 3500
A5200 storDge with 9 GB disks (quite stable)
A5200 Storadge with 18 GB disks (frequently disk failure)
